Originally a midwife first had to train as a registered general nurse (RGN), then as a midwife but in 1990 stand alone schemes were introduced. RGN trained midwives had to attend statutory refresher courses every 5 years and were practitioners in their own right.
The reverse is inscribed with the name of the qualified midwife, their registration number and date of registration.
